I'm looking to upgrade my suspension in the near future. My plan is to go with Koni-sport shocks and H&R springs. Does anyone have a convincing arguement for Eibach or Bilstein? The ultimate goal: 200mph & 10 sec. ET's without changing tires or suspension!
The goals are seperate. 200mph on a huge straight (1-2 miles), and 10 sec. 1/4 mile times.

RENZ if you plan on going 200mph you new to have a quick change reaend because there is no way no matter what amount of HP you have your not going to run 10 et's in the 1/4 mi. And as far as the 1/4 mi in the 10s you have to have all of the suspension upgrades and over 500 hp
The plan is a LS-1 swap mated to a 6 sp. and either intercooled supercharged or twin turboed. I'm hoping it's possible to run the 1/4 mi. with 4 gears and set up 5th & 6th with overdrive ratios for top speed. It won't be easy, but if I can cut enough weight off the car and set it up right, who knows.

Well to answer your question.--
I have bilsteins and I LOVE the ride, I have talked and been in cars with the adjustable konis and on their hardest setting they are about the same as the Bilsteins. Im not going to say dont get konis because I think they are a decent shock and alot cheaper than the bils I seem to recall.
I have the ws6 package now but the sportline eibachs are on the way in august.
